There is this standing joke among my friends, colleagues, aquaintances, family that I can never diet. Dieting requires the giving up of bread, cheese and potatoes which is the food groups I live on. However all this is going to change - the results of the allergy test is back and it turns out I am majorly allergic to yeast - Yeast which is a major component of bread, cheese and god knows how many things I love!! This means eliminating all forms of bread including bagels and pizza bases, mostly cakes and apparently cheese and some forms of milk! Gaaah! Yeast is also the basis for the fermenting of alcohol though the test says I'm not allergic to the booze! I am allergic to grapes tho - making wine unacceptable and oranges as well making a screwdriver off limits too! I'm not so sure it was the wisest thing to do this test.....considering that my resulting life seems to be over!
In related news, my father has always restricted milk and peanuts having a strong conviction I am allergic to them - I'm clear of that! however as predicted, I am allergic to perfumes!! Thank god - there is no allergy to chocolate and cola - there is something to live for!
My (in)significant other is having a gala time making fun of my predicament and practically banning me from eating!!
The other things one is allergic to is:
- House dust (Duh!!)
- House Dust mites (what are these?)
- Cockroach dust (Ewwww)
- Parthenium - some kind of fast growing weed which is all over the country

u wanna mourn this loss...before it becoms perma??? call me ;-) always willing !
I can confirm that one can be allergic to the ingredients in a particular kind of alcohol - but never to the alcohol itself - esp if it is a spirit. Crazy na?
Are u serious? Is it possible for me to drink wine then?
